Location
Stanton Lees is a small very quiet hamlet situated about
4 miles from the market town of Bakewell and the Spa towns
of Matlock and Matlock Bath. It is a peaceful picturesque
hamlet lying on a gritstone outcrop in the middle of the limestone
White Peak Area directly under Stanton Moor edge and the ancient
site of the Nine Ladies Standing Stones, renowned for its
tranquillity and positive energy. It is a designated conservation
area and provides an excellent base for relaxing and exploring
this area of outstanding natural beauty and historic interest
by foot, cycle or car.
There are superb walks from the door up through the woods
and on to the moors with paths and cycle routes linking the
pretty famous white peak villages. Both the historic houses
of Haddon Hall and Chatsworth are longer walks or only 10
minutes by car. The long distance pathways such as the Limestone
Way and the Derwent Valley Heritage Way are accessible from
Stanton Lees.
